More snooping around YouTube at Daryl's house revealed a session with the great Smokey Robinson. All of the tracks on YouTube are great, but one that I really love is "I've Been Good To You." What I love along with the song is the banter and obvious joy flowing between Smokey and Daryl. I am also knocked out by Daryl's singing on this tune. Dig especially what he lays down at about 2:08 in. Check it out right here. By the way, Daryl was born in 1946, which means he is now 69 years old. How come I couldn't look like that when I turned 69?!
There is a tinge of sadness in this track, that being the prominent presence of T-Bone Wolk. He died of a heart attack at age 58 in February of 2010. He had worked with Daryl for 30 years. What a terrible loss for us all, but seeing him on the "Good To You" track (and many others on Daryl's House) lets him live on in our memories. A belated R.I.P. from me.
